🐴🙎🏻🐕🦺 Our Team - Heart, Hooves & Paws
🐴 Toni - My Equine Partner
Toni is a gentle and attentive Tinker mare with a fine sensitivity for people.
At seven years old, she is curious, honest – and at times still a little cautious.
Her journey began in Ireland and, after many twists and her own experiences, eventually led her to the learning farm – and to me.
Like many who come to us, Toni carries her own story.
She knows what it feels like to be a stranger, to arrive somewhere new, and to find her way in unfamiliar surroundings.
In our work together, Toni meets each person with quiet attentiveness.
She often senses what is moving within us – sometimes even before we can put it into words ourselves.
Without judgment or expectation, she offers feedback: honest and clear, yet always gentle.
Our path is one we walk together.
I accompany her – and she accompanies me.
🐕🦺 Timmy – Tiny Paws, Big Impact
Timmy is our curly little poodle – curious, full of life, and always part of the action. He is the third member of our team – and he brings a special warmth to it.
With his open nature, Timmy greets everyone as if to say: “You belong here.” Whether tall or small, loud or quiet, cheerful or reserved – he meets each person with the same openness and unconditional affection. For many, this creates an immediate and comforting sense of being seen and welcomed.
Timmy loves closeness, enjoys being petted, and often seeks out contact himself – whether someone is experienced with animals or still a little cautious. His cheerful presence quickly builds bridges, especially for those who may never have been close to a dog or a horse before.
Even though he is not a “trained therapy dog,” he naturally embodies what is so valuable in working with people: authenticity, lightness – and a very big heart. If desired, Timmy can gladly be included in the sessions.
His role?
Simply to be himself.
And that is exactly what makes him so special.
🌿 Hof Armada - A Place to Feel at Home
I offer my sessions at Hof Armada, an educational farm in Wiesbaden-Frauenstein – peacefully situated, surrounded by nature, animals, and a safe environment. It is a place that offers room for encounters, for calm, for clear structures – and for whatever feels important in the moment. It’s not about performance. It’s about shared experiences that truly support you – in connection with the horse, with others, and with yourself.
The farm’s atmosphere makes many things possible: opening up, finding stillness, building trust. Step by step – and without pressure.
💬 My Approach - clear, mindful, and personal
Each session is individually designed - shaped by what you bring: your topics, questions, or concerns.
The focus is always on relationship - between you and the horse, and in the way we work together.
I work exclusively from the ground.
This keeps the emphasis on perception, body language, and inner attitude - because horses do not respond to what we say, but to what we do.
Through specific horsemanship exercises, mindful observation, and the horse’s subtle feedback, surprising aha moments often emerge.
Trust begins to grow, emotions become visible, and new perspectives can open up.
What makes my work special?
It is quiet, yet powerful.
Sometimes a gesture is enough. A glance. An honest reaction.
Much that is hidden in everyday life suddenly comes to light in contact with the horse - and often becomes open to change.
My Approach
I work from a Christian foundation, which gives me guidance and hope.
At the same time, it is deeply important to me to meet every person with openness, appreciation, and respect - regardless of their own beliefs.
